Abstract excerpt
Inhibitors of alanyl-aminopeptidase e.g. phebestin increase the expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 in mononuclear cells. We investigated whether phebestin also produced this effect in CD4+CD25+ T-cells and whether phebestin-treated CD4+CD25+ T-cells were capable of ameliorating acute colitis in mice. The suppressive activity of mouse CD4+CD25+ T-cells was assessed in vitro by co-culture with...
